[Q] about xda forum private messages - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

where i can find sented messages ?

..

Folder ControlsSent Items contains 0 messages.
You have 5 messages stored, of a total 2,000 allowed
why is empty ?

There is a setting in the preferences somewhere that allows you to save a copy of all sent items by default. Otherwise you have to tick a box underneath the Message box before you send each one to store it.
Your messages are now gone, but you can ask the users you sent them to to quote it back for you, if they still have it.

Sending SMS to a group

Is there a SW available on the XDA II that allows me to send a SMS msg to a group? I used to be available to do it on my ipaq using simple SMS.
I select category say "personal" from my contacts and viola, the msg will be sent.
AFAIK you can either select multiple recipients from you contacts list or you could set up a contact named "my-group" or so and put all the phone numbers in the mobile field, seperated by semicolons. It works here, but I have not yet tried more than a dozen at once.

How did you do it Martin? I created a new contact and put multiple of mobile phone numbers saparated by semicolons, but the semicolons don't appear on the SMS program. In other words, the SMS program removes all semicolons and appends all the numbers.
tried this, but when i send a message I get the error:
"You cannot send this message as both an SMS and an e-mail message. Please remove either the SMS or the e-mail address and send again"
Needless to say, I created a new contact with two telephone numbers in the mobile phone section seperated with one ;

group sms
hi guys
i tried to do this as well but it didnt work i had a nokia comunicator and i was able to do this with no problems.
regards kevin b :lol:
Thanks guys for the replies. I guess I have to live with sending SMS messages manually
It is really strange that an expensive pda+phone with a powerful operating system doesn't have this simple functionality.
I might sound strange, but this function is very important to me coz I send an average of 8 SMS messages to a group of people on daily basis.
I miss my T610
gropu sms
i agree kufi these phones arent cheap.
when i do into my sms box and say new i can add more contacts and seperate them with ; without any problem
havent tried sending it though so i'm not sure if it would fail but i can add more then one contact thats for sure
Yes this is how I do it too; the manual way which is time consuming and annoying. The optimal way is to assign a group of contacts under one name, but as you can see, it is not possible.
Hoping an application will be avaialable soon, coz this is driving me crazy.
group sms
I got this software, I think it works great. you have to first creat a group list, when saving the number, you have to save it in the group. I don't have any link for it, but its group sms ver1.1 by shailesh ashar, google it, or find the cab laying around here. hope it helped.

please help me....
i am using O2 XDA Flame model, i need to know if there is any application for forwarding sms from inbox to group contacts by selecting the group name. i have used software for sending new sms to group contacts but have not seen any application helping to forward inbox sms to group contacts... hope i have clearly mentioned my query.
thank you.
If you are sending the same group of people text messages I send the message in the normal way - this requires you adding each of the recipients one at a time.
When you are finished and you send the mail - go back into your messages and select the 'sent' option form the drop down. You can now highlight the recipients and use the 'copy' option.
Then, go to the 'NOTES' section of your XDA and paste in the list and save it using whatever title you want.
Every time you want to send a message to these recipients, open your 'NOTES' and copy/paste the list into your message - it is not perfect...but it does work and does save time.
I have only just joined the forum. Anyone still having problems sending texts to multiple contacts on you htc tp2 try this I think it may help you.
Create a new contact any name and type the contacts numbers in as laid out below.
12345678999>; <12345678999>; <12345678999>; and so on. You need six spaces between each number, no left side arrow in front of the first number as the phone puts that in by default and no right side arrow after the last number. I have tried it with upto ten numbers no probs it might work with more.
Also if if one of the contacts in your group sent you the original message you wont wanna send it back to him so if you hit menu then hit check names hey presto it will put all the contact names in relevant to the numbers, touch on the one you want to delete and then hit your back space key and its gone. Good luck.

Threaded SMS (Conversation)

Interesting oddity I've noticed with my new HTC Touch Pro.
I'm new to this threaded SMS (been using WM5.0 for years) and I kind of like it, but I also like to keep my SMS inbox clean. (habit over the years).
So when I delete a conversation I expect the messages I sent to be in the "sent items" folder and the messages I received to be in the "deleted items" folder.
The latter appears to be true, I have all of the SMS messages that were sent to me (received) but NONE of the messages I sent are in the "sent items" folder?!?!?
What's up with that?
I know I can disable this new threaded SMS (conversation) "feature", but I kind of like it. I just want to be able to keep what I sent and what I received for archive purposes in case the info is needed in future.
Thoughts?

There is a setting in SMS that you have to set for it to save messages to the sent folder.
Where is the setting?

Can you elaborate on this alleged setting?
Gripe #2...
When you start a new SMS it keeps track of how many characters you have left out of your 160 character quota.
But...
When you are in a "conversation" there is no character counter!
Anyone know if there is a way to turn one on?
Custom ROMs are looking more and more attractive after playing with this new WM6.1 phone for 3 days.
Strange behavior?

PS... In Messaging, Under Tools/Options/Message "Keep copy of sent messages in Sent folder" is checked ON in my phone
Interesting discovery though...
Now I notice when I delete a conversation all messages (sent or received) within the conversation go to the deleted items folder. Not ideal, as I'd like my sent messages to be in the Sent Items folder, but at least all messages are somewhere in an archive.
Now I ask, what is the purpose of the Sent Items folder if nothing is stored there when in conversation mode (except current conversations)?

Its just the way they wrote the program.
I believe there is a reg edit to change your max characters in SMS but as far as it not showing from one interface to another, no fix.

[Q] Messages on XDA aren't sending?

Same here man, the last 2 I`ve sent ar`nt there...
Same here, no messages at "Sent items" at all. Forum admins, please fix this one!
P.S. Hola, admins?!! We found a huge bug on XDA, how should I inform the responsible person?
Guys, this is not a bug in the system it is a User set option.
Go to User CP on the bar near the top of forum pages, choose Edit Options and then scroll down to the option to save sent messages in your sent messages folder.
ie User CP>Edit Options
NB for all those posting above, I have set the option to save messages. You don not need to follow the above instruction, though you might find other interesting options on that page

[Q] Private Messages - Sent Items

I wanted to help a few people with a solution about the google 2-step verification but since I can't post in developers forums (I'm new around here) I tried to send a private message. The problem is that, after sending the message, when I go to "Private Messages/Sent Items" it is empty
Is that normal?

In your User Control Panel down the left-hand side, you will see 'Edit Options'. In there is an option to 'Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default'. You will need to select it and save to retain all your sent messages

[Completed] Dont see sent messages in XDA site/app

Hello
I've been using the site and the app for a long time. I have got 32 messages in my inbox and for all of them I replied. But I cannot access the replies I sent in my sent folder. After that I found out that when I go advanced on my private message I can check a box saying "save a copy in inbox". And whenever I write a new message I can see that it is disabled by default, so that my replies are not saved in site. That means each time I'm sending a private message I have to go advanced, check the "save copy in inbox" and write down my message. Is there anyway to make it save my sent private messages by default? I know that I can access most of them by downloading the inbox as xml or csv, but I would like to have a copy each time I reply a message without going advanced and checking box everytime
Cheers
